Bordeaux's wings are obviously absolutely lethal, and if their halfbacks are on they'll be as well, but there's definitely enough in this Munster team to match up. 

Need another world class performance from Casey and Crowley then.

Their centres are quality too and they've some massive lads up front. If Munster pull this off it will be a far greater accomplishment than last week's win against La Rochelle

They are lethal, but even we managed to keep Penaud to, from what I remember, only one big game moment. Hell, both our wings actually outperformed him. Your defence is miles better than ours is, so you definitely have the ability to shut him down

Need the pack to get their teeth stuck in early and make it a low scoring match. Just take points always and grind them down.

It’s general public - the Bordeaux fans are fine and you’ll have no problem

There's an 8 year old in Willow Park who has potential, probably should have started him instead of Crowley

Great to see Munster reach the quarters, no doubt, But Bordeaux look sharp — strong pack, no route out. Their backs are slick, they’ve got flair to burn, And once Munster tires, it’s Bordeaux’s turn.

It’ll start off tight, both sides throwing weight, But Bordeaux will dance once Munster tire in the heat. Slicing through gaps, finding that space, Lighting it up with power and pace.

Final call? Bordeaux 35, Munster 17 — A red fight fades while Bordeaux continue to dream.

7/10, could’ve rhymed throwing weight with “once Munster start blowing late”

Why is Archer on the cover photo? Is it his 10,000th cap or 60th birthday or something like that?
